Fellow British dystopian futurist John Brunner sort of did this in Stand on Zanzibar. Though now that I re-read it, it almost seems like VR, or rather the proxy-interactivity of VR, crossed with the filter bubble of social media:

I think there is a risk of going too far in the other direction leading to design by committee. It’s often the case IME that a casual reader actually hasn’t thought through the problem enough to understand why their drive by feedback or alternative doesn’t make sense. A process that results in those things getting accepted may just be introducing more entropy into the design process.
This is actually kind of an awesome idea, printing overhang has been a issue with printer adoption, and greatly limits some of the parts you can fabricate. I hope this becomes mainstream in the major slicers soon.
The only way to have a billion dollars in the first place is to take it from the workers who created the wealth. No individual's labor or creative output can anywhere near reach that value.

We already allow taking from others, from whom and what justification used is simply a matter of ideology. The current system is what we're used to and so it seems necessary and inevitable to us, anything else an abhorrent deviation.
I wish I could say I was surprised.

> White Castle argued that a per-instance reading of the law would lead to “annihilative” damages

But that's the sort that's needed in order for them to matter to these companies. Any punitive fines that don't pose a real threat to the company are mostly meaningless. They're just the "cost of doing business".
the api page doesn't seem to work.
With sufficient granularity there is no difference. I can't give exact quotes without violating NDAs but variations on these have been the performance review standard at every major company I've worked at or known people who work at.
When your company requires using them, it's more straightforward adjust the styles and event handling of a react component than a web component.
They can only complete 100m once every 12 hours?
From what was said at the scrub conference, with additional context, it was scrubbed only because of more strict rules regarding it being a manned mission. Normally they would have just recycled a valve and moved ahead with the launch. Apparently the rick here is extremely minimal.

Cold brew coffee is by definition not brewed with hot water the way most coffee is (in other words, room temperature is within the range of "cold" when talking about brewing with "cold" water). So, it's not necessary for it to be served cold to enjoy the benefits of the cold brew method--sometimes I like it chilled, but I also enjoy the taste at room temperature or warmer.
Edge inference and cloud inference are not mutually exclusive and chances are any serious player would be dipping their toes in both.

Why not? I'm not sure I'm willing to just take that as a given.
Interestingly, Giles Thomas (the guy behind Python Anywhere) originally developed a Pythonic Spreadsheet application, called Resolver One, and then iterated to a a web-based version, called Project Dirigible.

Python Anywhere eventually span out from Project Dirigible when they realised that it was mostly being used for "generic" Python development rather than being used as a spreadsheet. There's an interesting write-up on this evolution here: https://blog.pythonanywhere.com/197/, and a demo of Dirigible here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ZoIp-5NaiQ.

Project dirigible ended up being open sourced here: https://github.com/pythonanywhere/dirigible-spreadsheet.
Cost is no guide, but incentives are higher at the cheaper ranges.
Interestingly, it turns out a large number of people have no inner monologue. [1]

Some studies indicate that it's as low as 30% of people who do (so 70% don't have an inner monologue), while others show the opposite, implying around 75% of people have some amount of inner monologue while 25% do not. It's a difficult subject to test and study since we don't have direct access to people's minds and asking someone what they're thinking about literally forces their thoughts through the filter of language.

SpaceX absolutely has a head-start now on reusability, launch costs, etc.

Boeing's century of experience was supposed to give them a head start on Commercial Crew; they squandered it, and recent history has the resulting gap getting bigger, not smaller.

Collaboration is mostly done when doing investigatory work to scope out a new project. Once work is divided up amongst team members, we mostly go our own way. It can also be a working session to solve a particularly challenging problem together.
because I might be charging the phone or something else that requires that port. I don't want to use a dongle. I want the same 3.5mm aux jack that continues to work reliably for many decades, and continues to support headphones older than the internet instead of the disposable bluetooth stuff they try and sell you today.

Eugene is a CLI tool for reviewing Postgres SQL migration scripts
A while back, I wrote a blog post that experimented with doing transactional DDL in postgres, and investigating the state of `pg_locks` to check if statements were likely to interfere with queries. I've expanded on this idea and made a tool, that I named `eugene` for the title of the first blog post.

Check out the examples in https://github.com/kaaveland/eugene/tree/main or read the blog post -- I would love to have more ideas for where to take this, both concrete migration hints that `eugene` could show people, but also functionality and ways to integrate it into CI.
When/if SpaceX gets Starship operational, small outfits like Rocket Lab won't be able to compete. ULA will probably survive in some form though either due to being a well established in Washington (read: old trusted corruption), or through a merger with Blue Origin (read: bailed out by Bezos.)
> If it takes multiple scrubs with months of delays before it finally launches

For anyone who doesn't follow rocket launches, this comment perfectly describes Boeing's Starliner program. Every. Single. Time. it tries to launch there is a non-weather related scrub. Valve issues have been a consistent issue for the capsule, and now it's the booster.

Maybe this is a bad idea, but... What if, instead of the current way where every call (including native stuff) is sync by default, it were the other way around? You'd quickly whitelist basic things like arithmetic and data struct access as sync, then you could maybe detect other things that should be sync if the event loop is spinning suspiciously fast.
I was assuming this is US-oriented, so invasive in the US was my presumption. If the customer base also includes Europe, it could accommodate that also. On the other hand, if you're assuming the userbase is truly global, that would get complicated.

A more practical approach would be to fine them a huge amount of money after a fair investigation and trial. Then, when the company is forced to declare bankruptcy or is on the brink of it, the US Government could buy the company out of bankruptcy, replacing all executive management and run it for a enough time to ensure that corrections have been implemented, then the Government could take the company public again and divest itself.
I'm getting kind of old by tech standards (33), but when I was 16 (2007) I worked at a McDonalds franchise as a cashier, and their screens were TUI-based.

I actually really hated it, because there was a six character limit meaning that most stuff had to be abbreviated. A double cheeseburger was "DBLCHZ", McNuggets were "MCNUGS", Fillets of Fish were "FIOFIS". I got used to it eventually, but learning was a huge pain because you're at the whim of figuring the abbreviation of whomever programmed the machine.

Still, it's better than a lot of other fast food kiosks that I heard people use, where they didn't even have words, just pictures, which I think I'd hate even more.
It doesn’t. It deletes the property “2”, but the index 2 remains present as a “hole” (like I mentioned before, almost a third kind of null). That removes it from iteration over the array object’s properties (i.e. your for-in loop), but doesn’t remove the index from the array or its iterable value representation: https://www.typescriptlang.org/play/?#code/MYewdgziA2CmB0w4E...

If you click run there and look at the logged output, you’ll see:

1. The length remains the same after the delete statement

2. The items after index 2 keep their index

3. The for-of loop continues to iterate over index 2 (which now produces an undefined value on read)
That’s ok, part of the joy of going to a library is finding out about new things you’ve never even heard of. And we also already have human recommendation systems, they’re called librarians!
iPadOS is still mainly a fork of iOS, a glorified mobile interface. They should really switch to a proper macOS system, now that the specs allow for it.
There have been 18 iPad models in the past 5 years. And now there are 4 more: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPad#Timeline Granted, it's not 70, but 22 is quite a number.

The difference between many of them is about the same as between 635, 636, 637, and 638

And who exactly is iPad aimed at?

Or can you tell me without looking into specs what exactly is the difference between iPad Pro and iPad Air? Or even looking at the specs: https://www.apple.com/ipad/compare/

Apart from the CPU bump they are so similar that you can't help but to think that they didn't include Thunderbolt in regular iPad just to have something to differentiate them.

Funnily enough, Air weighs more and is thicker than the Pro. A great sign of company completely losing all sight of their product lines.

You don't need 6 iPads. You need 3: iPad Mini, iPad Mid, iPad Max. Name them however you want to name them.
I think the rationale isn't "do they have more than enough?" it's "is this amount of wealth commensurate with any value provided?"

I imagine this would be a controversial subject anywhere, let alone HN, but I think implicitly is some belief that some individual's (or institution's) contributions are overcompensated relative to their actual contributions. I think as the amount of wealth increases, the probability that that wealth represents some equitable and rational reflection of actual contribution of value relative to others goes down.

The problem is that in any market there's all sorts of "leakage" and hidden unrecognized contributions just as much as there is hidden costs (environmental costs etc) of any business or individual. Also fraud, misrepresentation, irrational decision making on the part of consumers etc.

So my objection to say, Bezos' wealth isn't so much that he has more than he needs, it's that I do not see any way to rationalize his wealth relative to his contributions. The ideas behind Amazon would have probably proliferated anyway, the company is more than Bezos, including the many employees etc, and I think a lot of arguments can be made that Amazon's total societal value is controversial or debatable anyway.

What's a "correct" evaluation of Bezos' wealth in terms of societal value? I have no idea, it's probably a lot, but I do agree that at some point the wealth becomes so extreme that it's more likely to reflect societal and economic failures in value appraisal (implicit or explicit) than some actual justifiable value he has provided.

Regarding (2) we do this all the time in all kinds of indirect ways anyway. There's an assumption there about ownership and the conditions under which that is legally instantiated that is maybe at the heart of what needs to change. If you set up the rules to prevent certain things from happening in the first place, you don't end up "taking" any wealth.

I feel like this is the sort of thing that is so involved it would necessitate a book-length treatment instead of a comment on HN.

One thing I'll mention is that cold brew doesn't need to be put in the fridge to "brew". It can be left out on the counter at room temperature. As a result, this takes the brew time from 24 hours to about 12 hours.
My 10-year-old did not understand that I was reading a book when I was using the Kindle or Libby app on my phone. He was surprised and excited to learn that e-books that I read out loud to him are available in print! This has disturbed me so much that I am contemplating switching back to physical books in order to role model better (or more obvious) behavior.

All that is to say, maybe kids aren’t interested in reading partly because they don’t see their parents doing it … at least in a way that they understand.

According to the heat death of the universe theory which holds true if Einstein's cosmological constant is positive, every atomic / sub-atomic particle will eventually be in its own “observable universe”, spaced out enough that even moving at the speed of light away from any particle you would never reach another particle.
I think these days everyone links their products with AI. Today even BP CEO linked his business with AI. Edge inference and cloud inference are not mutually exclusive choices. Any serious provider will provide both and the improvement in quality of services come from you giving more of your data to the service provider. Most people are totally fine with that and that will not change any time sooner. Privacy paranoia is mostly a fringe thing in consumer tech.
Indeed! FoxPro was a joy to develop with. You could create something useful in very little time, it looked nice, and it ran very fast. Too bad it's completely gone.
I see. Particularly with CSS there's more of an enforced contract around how the element internals get exposed for styling. If the element hasn't exposed `parts` or slots it's hard to hack around it.

More broadly speaking I have found myself getting thrashed by the ever evolving "best practices" in the React ecosystem. First: write everything using class components, and then a couple years later everything should be written with hooks.

I think the benefit of web components (for certain things) is that the APIs and the standards move slowly. Something you write today isn't going to feel obsolete in only a couple years.

The bigger problem with Python to begin with was that you have to use def for functions, meaning you can't inline them like with JS arrow funcs or C++ lambdas. And this isn't a language purity thing, it's just inconvenient.

(I've worked on FSE, Gutenberg, and WordPress as a contributor, though it's been a couple years since I worked on FSE.)

I think there is a bit of a misunderstanding here. The WordPress block format is HTML so that it's completely portable and compatible with anything that uses HTML. The block markup (in HTML comments, can include JSON for individual settings that aren't explicitly HTML content) is a form of progressive enhancement that powers the editor. Sure, it's a bit of a hack, but that's just how the data is stored in the database. When you write or work with blocks, you don't manually write out this stuff.

FSE just builds on top of that to replace the PHP theme templating system (and it's still a young project, and lots of stuff is still maturing). Previously, end-users had very limited customization options, unless the theme author explicitly coded a ton of flexibility into the theme itself. Great for a theme author who wants the theme to be exactly the same everywhere, not great for a non-technical person who wants to set up their site exactly how they want.

The source of truth for templates is the database, after you start customizing the theme. Once you're customizing the theme, it's mostly expected you'll be in the editor, and won't be interacting with these underlying systems. For styling, it's a similar story. A lot of styles are powered by the global style system, where you define a lot of customizable presets (like colors) in JSON, which end-users can customize as they like.

I think it's important to recognize that the block editor is primarily developed with end-users in mind. After all, one of the biggest goals is to provide a flexible system that lets users edit their site in a GUI. (Which makes it a modern experience compared to other WYSIWYG editors!) It's definitely fair that this is a big shift over the previous approach, where you had to write PHP to do everything. But legacy themes still work fine, they just aren't normally flexible for users.
To give you an idea of what kinds of grim circumstances this was built for, the seats have 4-point seatbelts!
Take it from the workers?

Are you suggesting that workers do not have employment contracts where they agreed to trade labour for wages at a fixed price?

Workers always have the choice to take the risk of starting their own company for higher potential earnings.
Technically speaking that should be true for any topic. POTUS is just a particularly popular topic.

As a privacy professional for many, many years this is 100% correct. Apple wouldn’t be taking billions from Google for driving users to their ad tracking system, they wouldn’t give the CCP access to all Chinese user data (and maybe beyond), and they wouldn’t be on-again-off-again flirting with tailored ads in Apple News if privacy was a “human right”.

(FWIW my opinion is it is a human right, I just think Tim Cook is full of shit.)

What Apple calls privacy more often than not is just putting lipstick on the pig that is their anticompetitive walled garden.

Pretty much everybody in SV who works in privacy rolls their eyes at Apple. They talk a big game but they are as full of shit as Meta and Google - and there’s receipts to prove it thanks to this DoJ case.

Apple want to sell high end hardware. On-device computation is a better user experience, hands down.

That said, Siri is utter dogshit so on-device dogshit is just faster dogshit.
I was thinking that something like this could be useful for discovery in legal cases, where a company might give up a gigabyte or more of allegedly relevant material in response to recovery demands and the opposing side has to plow through it to find the good stuff. But then I thought of a countermeasure: there could be messages in the discovery material that act as instructions to the LLM, telling it what it should not find. We can guarantee that any reports generated will contain accurate quotes, even where they are so that surrounding context can be found. But perhaps, if the attacker controls the input data, things can be missed. And it could be done in a deniable way: email conversations talking about LLMs that also have keywords related to the lawsuit.
